1922 Industrial Survey of Gros Ventre #2

"I failed to meet this man so far. I went to or near his house several times and always learned that he was not at home. I went to his house and looked around the place in his absence. I know the man very well. He is no good. Very seldom stays at home. He rides the grub line regularly, staying with any of his friends that will feed him. He farms very little. His present farm is not a very good one, but he could make a good garden, raise some grain and hay, and probably make his living on the land. At least, have a comfortable home. He gets drunk still when he has the opportunity. At his age and disposition, I have little hope of much reform."
